To objectively and reproducibly assess the outcome of aesthetic procedures remains one of the major, unmet challenges in maxillo-facial and plastic surgery. Frequently employed scoring systems for the evaluation of aesthetic procedures are confounded by observer bias, be it that of the patient or of the surgeon. A new approach of pragmatic and simple scoring is the ANA [Aesthetic Numeric Analogue] scale, which facilitates the objective, reproducible, standardized and internationally uniform evaluation of aesthetic procedure outcome by converting all ratings for any kind of aesthetic procedures from a subjective value to an objective figure. The intention of the ANA-scale is to relate aesthetic satisfaction from wording to figures and by this create a rating system. The study is arranging matching pairs of verbal description and figures to finally queue up generating a scale. The clinical feasibility of this rating system is demonstrated in a surgical case. As a detail of the results the influence of the viewer's age to the aesthetic benefit assessment is obvious. In summary the ANA-scale looks to be a tool useful in individual treatment protocols as well as analysis of different techniques of aesthetic surgery for rating of the pure aesthetic satisfaction of the patients.
客观、可重复地评估美容手术的效果仍然是颌面和整形外科学面临的主要未满足的挑战之一。常用于评估美容手术的评分系统存在观察者偏倚，无论是患者还是外科医生的偏倚。一种实用且简单的评分新方法是 ANA（美学数字分析）量表，它通过将任何类型美容手术的所有评分从主观值转换为客观值，促进了美容手术效果的客观、可重复、标准化和国际统一评估。ANA 量表的目的是将美学满意度从文字转换为数字，并通过这种方式创建一个评分系统。该研究正在安排配对的文字描述和数字，最终生成一个量表。该评分系统的临床可行性在一个手术病例中得到了证明。作为结果的一个细节，观察者年龄对审美效果评估的影响是显而易见的。总之，ANA 量表看起来是一种有用的工具，可用于个体治疗方案以及分析不同的美容手术技术，以评估患者的纯美学满意度。
